Title: rt2860.tczmDescription: rt2860 moduleVersion: 2.2.0.0Author: Ralink Technology, Inc.Original-site: http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2Copying-policy: GNU General Public License, Version 2Size: 236KBExtension by: robertsComments: Mike L. compiled the rt2860 module for use on an eeePC 1000 ---------- Requires the wireless-2.6.29.1-tinycore and wireless_tools extensions ----------After booting, you should see a network interface "raN" with N being 0 in most cases: ra0. To associate with a wireless access point, you can set up a simple script like the following: #!/bin/sh # commands to associate with wireless access point sudo /sbin/ifconfig ra0 up sudo /usr/local/sbin/iwconfig ra0 essid "{{{YOUR ESSID HERE}}}" key restricted "{{{YOUR KEY HERE}}}" sleep 2 sudo /sbin/udhcpc -i ra0This could be called manually after booting, or automaticallyfrom /opt/bootlocal.sh. Note that if the preceding commands are directly inserted in bootlocal.sh, you don't need the "sudo"prefixes. Altenatively, you may use a series of iwpriv commands:#!/bin/sh#Config STA to link with AP which is OPEN/NONE(Authentication/Encryption))iwpriv ra0 set NetworkType=Infraiwpriv ra0 set AuthMode=OPENiwpriv ra0 set EncrypType=NONEiwpriv ra0 set SSID="AP's SSID" Another example of iwpriv:#!/bin/sh#Config STA to link with AP which is OPEN/NONE(Authentication/Encryption))iwpriv ra0 set NetworkType=Infraiwpriv ra0 set AuthMode=WPAPSKiwpriv ra0 set EncrypType=AESiwpriv ra0 set SSID="AP's SSID"iwpriv ra0 set WPAPSK="AP's wpa-preshared key"iwpriv ra0 set SSID="AP's SSID"The file 'iwpriv_usage.txt' in the driver source code has more examples and descriptions of all the control options.A third method that might work is to edit the hardware configuration file /etc/RT2860STA/RT2860STA.dat that is readwhen the driver kernel module is loaded. If you try this, please make a backup in a persistant location, and also add etc/RT2860STATo your /opt/.filetool.lst.

FYI I could build and use it doing the following:- Download TC patched 2.6.33-3 kernel source and corresponding config file- Use TC config file, make menuconfig, enable staging drivers, enable rt2860 staging driver- make modules- put the resulting rt2860sta.ko in a rt2860.tcz file, add it to onboot.lst, reboot, run wpa_supplicant and udhcpc.

This was tested on a eeepc 1000H. I used the wireless connection for a few hours with no issue.

The iwpriv WPA configuration example commands given in the info file of the 2.X version do not work anymore. But now wpa_supplicant works OK - it didn't seem to work at all with 2.6.29.
